NPC Crew and the Multicrew Gunner role

I have a ship with a fighter bay in it. I have an NPC crew member who is able to pilot a fighter, and she can also pilot my ship when I decide to take control of a fighter.

I also really liked multicrew a couple years back during my last jaunt in the galaxy. However I found it strange that I was unable to use the gunner role in my own ship. I have an Anaconda with some turrets (yeah I know, turrets suck, but so do I) but I can only either have them target automatically, or set them to fire at will

Wouldn't it be neat if I could use the Multicrew gunner role while my NPC crew member takes control of my ship? When I'm in the fighter role I can already assign commands to my pilot: Attack this target, Engage, Defend etc. Surely I could be able to do the same from the gunner role?

And then wouldn't it be great if I could have multiple NPC crew members? One (or two) in a fighter, One as the pilot, me on the guns? And have them actually in the seats of the bridge? I can hire 3 pilots but can only use one at a time. I want them to work for their money!
 
I don't understand this too. I have 2 additional seats for crewmembers on the Krait, but I can't get a second NPC on it
NPC crew don't sit in the seats, they're relegated out the back somewhere. Good thing too as most of them aren't that attractive:
